Adaptation of Living Things Lesson
$4.00Add to cart
Objective: students adapt and/or revise story details.
Animal characters make up the focus for "Greysum Opossum’s Way" (included). Students adapt the story by putting in their own ideas as they work in a team (part of the third grade objectives). This lesson integrates well with teaching adaptation or habitats in science. If students need a refresher on playing animal characters upright, review the Hare and Tortoise Lesson from our Introductory Lesson series. This lesson is part of our recommended sequence in the Third Grade Curriculum.
Third Grade Drama Journal: Adaptation of Living Things
To maximize student achievement, download this drama journal for students to use as reflection or formative assessment. For each lesson in the curriculum, we have created a corresponding journal page for your students. A drama journal allows participants to reflect on their learning and artistic growth (metacognition). It also allows you, the teacher, to see how students are using the drama vocabulary, thinking about big ideas, and perceiving their own strengths and weaknesses. If you use the journal for assessment and would like more assessment tools, visit our Third Grade Curriculum.
